Dear Members

It was amazing to see so many  wonderful colleagues on the pickets this morning. We had packed branch meeting, at which our updated hardship fund rules were unanimously approved. We will remind you of the details in a separate message later on. The meeting was followed by a lovely branch lunch in Rutherford Dining Hall. Catering staff looked us very well and the food was appreciated by all.

We were delighted to welcome a surprise visitor  at lunch – our local MP, Rosie Duffield. She addressed the assembled throng and offered her support to our cause. This was met by uproarious applause.

Do keep an eye on the strike Calendar: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1my9AIpDNLU4ek0xt8UIZMz45ezgy7leFADTN2Mpafi4/edit

What an incredible first day. We look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow!

Sian, Owen, Phil and Mark
